Kettering Health Network has been named by Thomson Reuters as one of the top 10 health systems in the United States for the past three consecutive years.
Helping them get there was their insistence on making the most of technological innovations, enabling them to spend less time on operations and more time focusing on the quality of patient care.
This white paper demonstrates how Kettering adopted client virtualization technology to make it easier for clinicians to access applications and records no matter where they are located in the facility. This helps maximize clinician-patient time by reducing clinician-PC time.

You may elect a withdrawal at any time by contacting the Credit Union. If you would like the Upstate FCU to write a check payable to the tax agency or insurance co - you may do so by sending a request and a copy of the bill to us.
For example:
Car Taxes = $400/yr
Car Insurance = $600/yr
Total = $1000/yr divided by 24 (if paid 2x's monthly)
Using this example you would need to deposit $41.66 to your Insurance Club account per pay period. This seems affordable when you consider the alternative of having to come up with as much as $600 at one time. Call the credit union for details.

Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance) >Dessert Shops > Graeter's Ice Cream
9430 Brownsboro Rd, Louisville, KY | Directions 4024138.307818 -85.574338
Best Ice Cream in Louisville – Alright, to set the record straight from previous reviews, this is a chain based in Cincinnatti, although the ice cream for Louisville is made here at the Springhurst location. There are 7 franchised stores in Louisville, and I usually frequent the Hurstbourne Lane location, next to Barnes & Noble. The ice cream is uber yummy! There are over 20 flavors, including the sorbets. The Black Raspberry Chip ice cream is the most popular one, and you can try it and any other flavor you like. Just ask for a sample (yes, they are free!). My other favorites include the Coconut Chip, Peanut Butter Chip, Chocolate Coconut Almond Fudge, and Toffee Chip. I notice that others are "gaga" about their Peach, Peppermint, and Prailines and Cream ice creams, which are seasonal.
Their seasonal flavors stay for about 2-3 months, so each month there will be one or two new ones, and one or two other seasonals will go away. So, they have well over a dozen that stay all the time, and then two to four that will be seasonal. Each location will have a schedule of what seasonals come when, and if they don't have it posted for customers, they should be able to let you see their copy of the seasonal flavors schedules. The staff is very friendly, so just ask!
If you haven't tried their ice cream, you must do so! There's nothing like it in the Louisville area. I love ice cream and have tried about everything in the area since I've been here for over 30 years. Several Krogers in the area also stock it, and I notice that it tends to be in a separate section from the ice cream aisle. I shop at Holiday Manor Kroger, and it is between the produce/fruit aisle and the bread aisle.
This small local chain makes mouthwatering ice creams and sorbets that taste hand-cranked fresh. – The Scene
SUVs, minivans and motorcycles vie for the few parking spaces outside this St. Matthews parlor. Inside, folks of all ages line up at the long, frosty counter before trying to nab one of the small tables clustered against the store's plate-glass window.
The Food
Graeter's ice cream is the standard against which all competitors are measured. Creamy mint-chocolate chip is stellar: Pale-green ice cream studded with chunks of premium dark chocolate. Equally enticing is chocolate-coconut almond fudge, amaretto crunch and peanut butter chip. Raspberry, strawberry, lemon, and orange sorbets are fat- and cholesterol-free. Don't expect that from the chocolate-dipped waffle cones or double-dip sodas. Splurge on the White Tower, two scoops of ice cream flooded with marshmallow cream, topped with prickly chocolate sprinkles.
Absolutely the best! – I have never had such WONDERFUL ice cream as Graeter's since moving to Louisville 2 years ago. There is nothing like it! Matter of fact, I stopped there this afternoon and split a sundae with my hubby! YUM YUM YUM.
Wonderful! – Graeter's has wonderful ice cream! I agree, the Raspberry chocolate chunk is out of this world. But, my favorite is peppermint with hot fudge sauce, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry in a waffle bowl! Their hot fudge sauce is just that... a rich sauce, not a syrup. Just wish they had a drive thru, like the one in Lexington!
Close to perfection! – Among the very best ice creams I have tasted; right up there with Bluebell Ice Cream and Italian Gelati!
YUM YUM YUM – They don't have alot of flavors but the flavors they do have are yummy.
It's good enough for OPRAH! – I've lived in Louisville most of my life but it wasn't until recently I visited Graeter's. I went with friends who raved about Graeter's ice cream and I thought "who could be better than Ben & Jerry's?"
....GRAETER'S, that's who. They make their ice cream with real cream and real butter....um, butter. Now, all other ice creams pale in comparison....Oprah thinks so, too!!!

27430 The Old Road, Valencia, CA | Directions 9135534.418247 -118.581834
BEST RESTURANT IN TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I visited Rio Rio in Valencia on February 29,2008....its recently under new mangament !!!!....The service is great, food is terrific, and the atmoshpere is wonderful. There are 12 different kinds of meats all seasoned and juicy! I went there with 80 close friends and family. The food was delicious and the shows they had were greatttttttt! The best part was that after 10:30pm the resturant turns into a nightclub! I would recommend Rio Rio for everyone who wants to have a great timeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the bathrooms are that bad..... i wonder how the kitchen is?!? – This place, who's name is not even worth mentioning again was without a doubt, The most repulsive resturaunt my wife and I have been to over 7 years. Lets make this quick: Dirty floors, holes in the walls, agressive and rude hosting service, filthly bathrooms, WAY OVER PRICED, perverted manager who stares at every famale that walks in the place and it was decorated worse than a Denny's. That should do it! DONT GO! EVER!
Tottaly avoid – All the five star reviews are written by the fraud owners. One review gives you all the detail about show hours and calendar of events, homework done nice, how fake is that.
Avoid it completely! – We had heard many wonderful things about this restaurant, but were extremely disappointed when we finally visited ourselves. First, we waited for 20 minutes for someone to come to our table to ask if we'd been helped already. Of course, the people sitting behind us had arrived after we did and were already served their bread basket and drinks. Our child should have been given a child's plate as requested, but no one brought anything out to him until long after my husband and I had been served. We've eaten at many restaurants such as this in the past, and this was the most mediocre. The sides were very "gravied" down and unhealthy (spinach and mashies - mashies had lots of chunks), and all of the meats were highly over-salted. It was as if someone had dropped a salt shaker on everything. Brazilian food is known for its wonderful seasoning but not for it's having too much salt. Additionally, the server was extremely pushy about trying to charge us for being there for the show, though we had told them from the beginning that we weren't there for the show - just the food. By the way, the show is not at all intended for younger children. The talent we've seen on cruise ships was more authentic than the show we ended up seeing (pretty sad) - we had no choice, as it took forever to complete the dinner. We should not have had to continually ask for more sides. The amount they initially give is laughable. One of the servers was most wonderful and made every effort to bring us better meat, so we couldn't blame him for the poor cooking. We will not recommend this restaurant to anyone here in the Valencia area. Oh, and what were they thinking about keeping some of the original Hamburger Hamlet restaurant's old, red, vinyl booths??? And they were ripped as well. Overall disapppointing! Great night out for my birthday!
Disgusting food, terrible service! We will never go again! – We went to this restaurant last night and absolutely hated it! We will never, ever go back.
The food was terrible! Like the original poster mentioned, the tri-tip was too dry and FULL of fat! In fact, none of their cuts of meat were lean. Also, I do not recommend anyone ordering from their dessert menu. I ordered the chocolate cake which tasted like it came from a cheap bakery, and my husband ordered the coconut creme brulee which was dry/crumbly and had NO flavor.
We went primarily for the show, and the hostess sat us behind a wall! We could only see half of the dance floor from where we sat. When we complained about it she said there was nowhere else to sit. I have no idea how a restaurant that offers a show can expect paying customers to sit behind a wall!!
The service was extremely slow! We were waiting upwards of about 15 minutes between meat cuts. Our server also did not bring out the sides in a timely manner. The portions were SO small! By the time we got our first cut of meat, we had already finished our sides. When the second cut of meat came out (~15 minutes later) we still had no sides.
The restaurant was also VERY overpriced for the quality of food. Our bill for the two of us came to $120!!!
I would not take my children to this restaurant. The show was very risque, with the dancers' outfits. Some dance moves were very provocative, and with some of the customers who had been drinking it got pretty rowdy. With that being said, the clientele was far from classy.
We were very, very disappointed.
Wonderful Restaurant!!! – This restaurant is wonderful! When I first read the reviews on citysearch com I was surprised. Most of the people rated this restaurant with 5 stars, and only 2 people that actually wrote their reviews at the same day, gave the worst grades. So, trully speaking, I went there out of curiosity. Now, I do not have any doubts that both reviews were written by the competitors. Certainly, you can not compare it with Fogo de Chao, but it is one step ahead of all Brazilian restaurants I have been to. The food is great, the ambience is the best in all Santa Clarita Valley; and there is nothing like their entertainment around here. Plus, they have a live dj playing on Friday & Saturday nights. Common guys! Be fair. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Great Food, Excellet Service & Unbeatable Ambiance! – I tried Rio Rio about a week ago and was completely blown away by the overall experience! My friend and I were celebrating a significant work achivement and when we told our waiter this was the reason why we were there he made an increidible effort in making sure we were well looked after. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves too! When the food arrived it was perfect, warm what needed to be warm, cold what needed to be cold and the service through out just warm!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone who has the chance!
Terrible Food, Terrible Value, Terrible Service and Seem Dishonest – Hi,
We went on Friday, September 14th, 2007 and this place was terrible. Service was very slow, although she was a sweetheart. They push all the cheaper meats up front (pork, 'bazilian sausage', ribs etc.) then near the end (almost like a plan) they bring out the expensive meats like the top sirloin, trip tip, and Picanha meat. We NEVER saw these meats again. They say it's all you can eat, but they don't bring you anything to really eat. I asked for the top sirloin again, and they 15 minutes later they said they didn't have any more. We asked for the Picanha meat again, and they brought out some pre cut meat on plate that tasted like dry liver! I really couldn't beleive it. If you go, lets see what they say when you ask for the Picanah, then the Picanah again and then top sirloin. I bet the fidget and bring you something else.
The sides are terrible too. They bring you six sides that are tasteless. Some slop that are black beans and little bowl of white rice. Any other churrascaria has an open salad and appetizer bar with MANY more options to choose from. The mashed potatoes look liquidy and made from a bag. It seems like they have a set menu of meats and each table gets a 'round'.
They are starting to close for luch soon too. The place is in a terrible location, I don't know why they don't try harder. They charged by 3 year old and 5 year old $22 for dinner! The above is just my opinionl, just try it for yourself if you'd like.
Food and service are bad, entertaiment not worth the price – Food is bad. Variety is regular and the dishes don't match. BBQ is satisfatory if you be the lucky one to have the fresh ones that you barely see. They always try to push you dry and old meats first. The desserts are bad, don't seem to be made at the restaurant.
Drinks are OK and very pricey. Expect to spend a LOT if you want to have some drinks.
Service is unsatisfatory, the servers are not knowledgeable and take too long to bring drinks and side dishes.
Entertainment is good, but not worth the price. I don't recommend this restaurant, there are many others in LA area much better than this one. I also heard that another Brazilian Churrascaria is opening soon in Valencia at the mall.
Terrible, worst brazilian restaurant ever, bad service, food tastes old and not seasoned – I'm Brazilian, my wife is American. We live in Santa Clarita Valley for a long time. We've been there three times. We went for the first time at the first week they open, everything was bad. We tried to give them a second chance. We went there after 3 months in a saturday night. The service was still terrible, the food even worst and everything very very pricey. We thought, maybe is because it was a busy night. Let's try for the third time in a regular night. We simply hated. Defitively this restaurant must close down. It's a shame to be Braziian and have a restaurant like that in our city. I've asked one of the servers and he told me that the owners are Armenian and have never been to Brazil. How could they open a Brazilian restaurant without knowing anything about the country??? They play all kind of music, but NOT Brazilian (that are really good). This restaurant is ridiculous, they should review all their concepts and the owners should learn A LOT more about Brazil, the food, music, tradition and culture... I don't recommend this restaurant AT ALL!

He suffers from stomach pain
I have a problem with my stomach that makes it extremely difficult for me to fast... I give out money at the beginning of Ramadan to feed a Muslim each day till the end of Ramadan... Is there anything else I can do for not fasting?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If this sickness that is preventing you from fasting is something that is incurable, then what you have done is correct, because the one who is suffering from an incurable sickness has to feed one poor person for each day, and he does not have to do anything else.
But if the sickness is one from which you hope to recover, then if you get better you have to make up the days that you did not fast, and in this case it is not permissible for you to feed the poor when you are able to make up the fasts.

Pilsner Urquell Continues Historic Cooperation with the National Theater
19 April 2013
Praha, April 17, 2013 – Starting today, the Pilsner Urquell brand restarts its prior partnership with the National Theater. This cooperation is a logical junction of the two icons that represent the originality of Czech cultural wealth.
The cooperation of Plzeňský Prazdroj and the National Theater has a long and respectable tradition. Already in 1880, Plzeňský Prazdroj, then known as Burghers' Brewery, contributed to the building of the theater and so became "The honourable member of the association for establishing of the National Theater in Prague." After the fire in 1881, the brewery contributed to the reconstruction of the destroyed theater again during the movement called "The Nation for its People."
Plzeňský Prazdroj Company, however, cooperated with the National Theater not too long ago too. During the second half of the last decade of the last century, the company was the general partner of the National Theater's Opera company and Pilsner Urquell beer was used as a prop on stage during the production of The Bartered Bride, for example. Today, the company continues the tradition with the newly signed partnership between the Czech foremost theater scene and Pilsner Urquell brand, and thus becomes "The Partner of The National Theater Productions."
"Pilsner Urquell is a part of many important events and it is not absent at the centre of the cultural life of the country. The National Theater always stressed the highest quality combined with originality and so does Pilsner Urquell. Therefore, I am extremely glad that starting today, the partnership between the two icons of Czech cultural wealth will continue," marketing director of the company Grant McKenzie commented on the newly signed partnership.
Marketing director of the National Theater Michal Janovský shared similar feelings: "We are extremely happy to welcome Pilsner Urquell in the company of our honourable partners. The history and the character of the brands are very good prerequisites for the long lasting cooperation."
The contract was signed by the acting director of the National Theater Václav Pelouch and marketing director of Plzeňský Prazdroj Grant McKenzie. Pilsner Urquell lager will now be on tap exclusively during all premieres and other important events of the National Theater stages that is the National Theater, the State Opera, the New Stage, and the Kolowrat Theater. The first premiere that will also be the premiere of the partnership will be the production of Josef Mysliveček's opera Olimpiade in the Estates Theater on May 2, 2013.

text: Tom Bechman Welcome To The Indiana Dessert Hoosier Perspectives Memories of former droughts come 'flooding' back. Published on: July 9, 2012 I've just returned from a meeting featuring the vast majority of Purdue University's campus specialists and well over half the Extension ag educators in the state. Jim Mintert, assistant Extension Director, called meeting to make sure everyone was on the same page as far as how bad the drought was in various parts of the state, and what messages Purdue could be telling people that might help them make more informed decisions in bad situations. So while I wouldn't say the day was uplifting, it is reassuring that our land-grant university in Indiana is mobilizing to do anything and everything possible to put information at people's fingertips related to coping with and managing through what's already a rough season. In the end it could be a calamity for many Hoosier farmers, at least in the short run. Jay Akridge, Purdue dean of the College of Agriculture, noted that they couldn't make it rain, although he offered to dance if it would help. No one took him up on it. But he said Purdue Extension can do everything possible to ease the burden of making the best choice out of lousy options for producers hardest hit by this extreme summer. No one was ready to say it will turn out to be as bad as 1988, the last big drought, followed closely in parts of the state by the 1991 drought, but on all the graphs and figures passed out and pointed out by Bob Nielsen, corn specialist, and Chris Hurt, Ag economics specialist, it's approaching 1988 in an eerie fashion. If there's some relief in rain this week and a return to at least normal temperatures, it will help. Truth is the '88 drought broke about mid-July. Folks in the Indiana State Climate Office don't see an end in sight to the overall warmer than normal, drier than normal trend. They missed the winter forecast badly. No offense, guys, but here's hoping you miss this one too! I remember the drought and early heat in 1988 very well. My wife, Carla, and I were expecting our second child, Ashley. Carla always swore she would never be pregnant in the summer or during state fair. So what did 'we' do? She was pregnant during what was then the hottest summer in 50 years. She went to the state fair. And we even went to a big field day at Van Wert, Ohio on our way to Columbus, Ohio, for a meeting. I still remember her seating, begging me to leave and push our two-year old across the baking wheat stubble to the car. It was only 95 degrees, and naturally, being the economical couple we were, and being tight, our first car didn't have air conditioning, and it was black to boot! What a pleasant ride to Columbus! I remember checking the cornfield my brother and I owned and had no-tilled just after a rain about July 20. I came out of there not sure if it would make anything or not. As it turned out, it made 80 bushels per acre. I also remember the drought of 1983, another big Indiana drought. It came later in the season, and since I had never experienced a drought farming, so I convinced dad to contract corn at $2.72 per bushel in late June. That was an unheard of price for that year. Well, I soon learned what happened when you're the one that doesn't get rain. We filled the contract, but he never let me forget that we gave up more than $1 per bushel by doing that move. He said we'd never contract again. Never is a long time. We did, and next time it paid off. If I was farming I probably would have contracted this spring. Glad I'm not farming- I'm just raising hogs and sheep and buying feed that's gets higher by the day- smart, huh? Sitting here today looking at the still brown dessert outside, it's about like 1988 all over- I don't know if corn around her will make anything or not. That's a scary feeling, even if it's not my corn. Hoepfullly it wi;ll, and this will be just a bad memory. If not, hopefully you'll have at least some grain to sell, or that you at least have crop insurance. And here's my pledge to you. I can't make it rain either and I can't dance, but I can fill our Website with information from Purdue and other places that will at least help you answer questions that could make decisions easier, or prevent you from making costly mistakes that might add insult to injury. We'll get through this together as Hoosiers. We always do. Only the good Lord knows how, but he'll help us come up with something. He always does. May God bless you today!

At the beginning of the Bridge and Isleta Boulevards Revitalization planning sessions in 1996, community residents recommended that a small business incubator be built to address economic development issues in the South Valley.
In response to the request, the Rio Grand Community Development Center (RGCDC) developed the Bridge and Isleta Boulevards Revitalization plan. The plan made the development of a business incubator in the South Valley a priority. In addition to traditional business incubation, the plan also identified the economic development benefits of locating a commercial kitchen within the facility. The commercial kitchen would provide value added opportunities for residents involved in local farming and food production.
The University of New Mexico's Design and Planning Assistance Center (DePAC) provided the initial designs for the project. The project secured funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the University's Resource Center for Raza Planning, the directed by Teresa Cordova. The Resource Center for Raza Planning also conducted door-to-door interviewing and surveying to determine ongoing community support and to gather suggestions for the facility's development. Based on South Valley residents' responses to these surveys and community planning meetings, the community decided to name the project the South Valley Economic Development Center (SVEDC).
Ground breaking for the "South Valley Economic Development Center" took place in 2003 and construction was completed in 2005. The SVEDC's Grand Opening took place in the summer of 2005, and Tony Gallegos was named the Executive Director of the facility in the fall of 2005. The facility continues to operate under the Rio Grande Community Development Center (RGCDC), and offers flexible leases on the commercial kitchen facility and the traditional business offices housed in the facility.

State plan puts solar in all public schools
In what could become the largest solar power project of its kind in the nation, the Department of Education is proposing to install photovoltaic panels on every public school in Hawaii over the next five years in a bid to cut electricity costs and move the state closer to its renewable energy goals.
The case for a distributed, smarter, cleaner power grid post Hurricane Sandy
Monday night as I was camped out in front of my Twitter feed — safe and dry in San Francisco — friends and family in New York started tweeting about power failures all over lower Manhattan. Their cell phones, running on batteries and tapping into their carrier's high speed wireless networks — many that are backed up with diesel generators — were still up, even as the power grid went down across many parts of the East Coast.
Bill Clinton Throws His Support Behind Michigan's Renewable Energy Ballot Initiative
Michigan is playing host to a major battle over renewable energy this fall. On one side are clean energy proponents promoting a ballot initiative that would increase the state's renewable electricity targets to 25 percent by 2025. On the other side are large coal-dependent utilities fighting to prevent any new increases.
New Solar Project at Great Falls High Prepares Students for Jobs in Renewable Energy Fields
Great Falls High decided to expand their science solar project after the first installation of two solar panels went so well. Now there are 72 solar panels on the roof of south campus, helping to power the entire building.
OCI Solar Power to Partner with CPS Energy in Largest U.S. Utility Solar Project
OCI Solar Power signed a deal with CPS Energy today in San Antonio, Texas, to develop, own and operate the largest municipal utility solar project in the country. The groundbreaking sustainable energy development project will produce more than 400 megawatts of power through a consortium of partners brought together by OCI Solar Power for the landmark deal.
Christie Signs Bill to Help Boost Solar Energy Projects
Surrounded by Democratic lawmakers, Governor Christie signed a bill Monday that he says would help jump-start solar energy projects across the state.
Sustainability Economics: Solar Power
Having just completed analysis of several theories that when combined produce what I call the "Optimized Sustainment Model (OSM)," I want to share part of the story that is combined with the news of the day to complement it. The world is searching for sustainable economies, alternatives to capitalism or a dramatic revision.

You don't have to be a climate scientist these days to know that the climate has problems. You just have to step outside.
Study: Solar Tax Credits Generate Revenue
Federal financial support of renewable energy has taken a whole lot of heat in the months since Solyndra went bankrupt. Opponents of federal policy have claimed that solar grants and subsidies increase the federal deficit while doing little to promote new sources of energy.

Here is list of my personal genealogy goals for 2010:
1. Continue Genealogy Education
For the next 12 months I will continue to participate in ProGen 4 as part of my genealogy education plan. I started in September 2009 and currently the program is slated to end in March 2011.
So far I've found the assignments, the peer review process and the discussions very helpful. In fact it was the ProGen lesson on formulating an education plan which helped me deside on another component of my education: participation in the Boston University Online Genealogy Research cerficate program.
I will start on January 13, 2010 and over the course of 14 weeks will cover quite a bit of terrain led by some excellently qualified instructors. I am really looking forward to the BU classes and will report on them periodically through the Destination: Austin Family blog.
2. Pursue Certification
While I understand that there is no uniform standard of certification in the field of genealogy, and that there are several certifying bodies that one can work with to achieve different types of certification, for me it is important to attain some type of credential.
I am not looking to have some post-nominal such as CG after my name just for the sake of having it, nor am I trying to say that I am better or more qualified than other genealogists. For me it is simply a goal and the path to that goal means I will be a better educated and more well-rounded genealogist.
I also hope to determine whether the certification process can benefit from some of the emerging technologies that I and others have started to adopt in pursuing our research as well as marketing our services. And again, the value of having a genealogy blog is the willingness to report back to my readers on the process itself as well as the insights I've gained.
3. Separate Personal From Professional
Since I started the GeneaBloggers.com website in January 2009, I've neglected to keep my personal genealogy and professional genealogy personas separate. This can cause some confusion especially for newcomers to the world of genealogy blogging.
I need to Twitter more under my own id which is @tmacentee instead of @geneabloggers. Also, on Facebook I need to utilize the GeneaBloggers group and GeneaBloggers fan page for communications rather than my own personal page.
While I will probably always be identified with GeneaBloggers, I think keeping personal and professional activities separate will have lots of benefits in the long-run as well as help me build GeneaBloggers as a brand.
4. Participate in More Carnivals and Daily Blogging Themes
There is no reason why I shouldn't walk the walk about these great genealogy blogging activities since I am always talking the talk about them over at GeneaBloggers. With my busy schedule I can pre-post as much as possible but I know I have quite a few ways to tell the stories of my ancestors through the Destination: Austin Family blog.
5. Preserve More Documents
This means more scanning and more transcribing. I have fallen behind and I just need to commit myself to doing this.
6. Develop My Lowville Site
Since I switched hosting companies for my Lowville Long Ago site, I have retained the domain name but I did not re-establish the wiki using MediaWiki software.
I want to establish a site similar to the Albany Hill Towns wiki which I helped develop in late 2008.
7. Display My Tree
I have a rather ingenious way of displaying both maternal and paternal sides of my family tree in my home office. I have the concept set on paper - I just need to execute it and then describe the process on my blog.
That's it - seven simple ways of improving myself and my genealogy. Simple, right? I hope to do a check-in right after Jamboree in late June 2010 and report my results right here.

So welcome to our forums everyone! If you are new here please take a moment to introduce yourself and if you have been here a while.. feel free to do so as well
Let us know who you are and where and we may be able to organise local meet ups- social or costume sweatshop, either is good
I'm Michaela
Looooooooong time member of the early FF forums on theforce.net and finally joined the Rebel Legion way back in 2005. With Padme's funeral gown. I know, very cheerful
The desire to join was two fold: being able to join a group equally obsessed with costuming and a chance to do charity events with an official group rather than randomly going along solo!
Currently looking at my on Mothma and both Shaak Ti costumes and frowning because I want to register them but I can't face a day of standing in front of my camera trying to get good photos

I'm Richard from Masterton. Long time SW fan. Currently on the hunt for the boots to complete my jedi costume so I can upgrade my membership.
People tell me that when my son and I wear our jedi costumes we look almost identical.
My aim is to wear the cosutume to armageddon up in Auckland at the end of the month so here's hoping I finally find the boots that fit. Cos if the boot fits...
Did someone say I could dye some black boots brown?

Ha, had to email my password I've been away so long!!
I'm Jackie and I live in the Hawke's Bay...I've been wanting to join the RL properly for years but there are just too many costumes to choice from! Lol
Though it's looking good for one by the end of this year
I've loved SW since I got mum to buy me the 1997 re-mastered VHS pack for xmas that year, turns out she was a massive sci-fi fan as well lol
Also, I hate not being so far away from the major NZ SW group gatherings...

Ahah, cunning plan to stalk, er track down forum users is working....
I've just put in a request for getting some spiffy new sub forums where costume builds can go
So hopefully we will see some activity there from you too
Kia ora Jackie welcome back
If you are coming to Auckland Armageddon we can certainly try and arrange a catch up
I'm hopefully going to have a fair bit of paraphernalia with me and we can talk D*C madness as well

I did find a Fabric that I thought could have passed for Padme's Fireside Gown, but looking at the pictures again...totally wrong lol
So thinking about making her Tatooine Disguise (since I have fabric that could work for the top and the tunic) or her Purple Clone Wars Cartoon Chapter 14 Dress (the one that looks like her EpII senate gown)
oh the choices! lol

Hi Coranz
Sorry to derail your thread Michaela. I have a fireside Padme' that doesn't fit me anymore. It's a little to tight. It's never been an approved costume but I think with some work it could be. I live in Australia so I could give it to Michaela when I see her so you could save on postage or something. If your interested PM me and let me know your sizes or you can let me know here and I'll send you some pics.
I love her Tatooine Disguise as well. I've wanted to do that myself for a while.
And also since I derailed and all I'll just say Hi to everyone my name is Sarah I joined in 2008. As I mentioned I'm from Australia and have had the pleasure of trooping with a few of Naboo's members on a number of occasions and I look forward to hopefully doing that in NZ someday soon.

Hey all, I'm Wayne.
Yet another Aucklander, and much like Jackie I've been around for a while now without officially signing up.
The first troop I was a part of was back in August of 08 and after a couple of attempts at doing costumes, I decided to go back to my first love and stick with doing the photo work for our Outpost, which can be found

Unfortunately Sarah, I am not a small person and I more than likely won't fit the costume, and I would much rather that someone who can fit it have it and wear it than me get it and it just sits there not being worn...
Thanks though!
I went back today to get some Fabric for Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty and found the same fabric, but with Silver backing instead of white...it might work, not the best, but still it could pass for the Fireside Gown skirt Fabric...one hopes...lol

Hi I"m Andrea and I"m from Tokoroa. I"m a dual member of both Outpost 42 and the Naboo Outpost as are a lot of folks here. I started trooping in 2006 and I did a lot of the ground work to get this outpost up and running. I have two RL costumes my Jawa (which is a dual costume as it's also my 501st official costume) and my Jedi Master. I have just upgraded my jawa mask and my jedi belt so there's always something on the go. What size is the Padme costume. I fit a 6 or an 8 as I am petite.

Outstanding happy hour specials! – We tried The Arsenal with friends for their Carmageddon specials and couldn't have been more pleased with the cheaper than fast food but high quality happy hour menu. The service was outstanding with a sexy and cozy atmosphere. We will be back.
Mac & Cheese Fries... I shouldn't have to say anything else – They have Mac & Cheese Fries... Really? And Mac & Cheese Pizza. That's what my friends and I thought when we saw it. What crazy evil foodie genius thought of this? The fries are crisscut fries, topped with amazing creamy mac and cheese then apple cider bacon and tomatoes. It might just be the perfect food.
The burgers are solid also. I really like the Modern Burger with Burrata Cheese.
My friends loved the chicken sliders, especially cause each one of the three were different, one bbq, one cobb and one hot wing style.
They have great beers Allagash Curioux for only $10, $8 at Happy Hour and a great Tequila and Whiskey Selection.'m definitely going back soon. This is definitely a spot that my co-workers would love for happy hour.
You Can't Spell "Arsenal" without "Arse" – i'd give half a star if they would let me - may not even be worth the half star I'd be willing to give it. whatever they were trying to accomplish with the New Look at 1950s Prices promotion, they failed - and lost a loyal customer in the process. the promo was only 4 nights long, and at my 7:30 seating for night 4, I was told that they'd run out of practically everything on the menu, including the steaks we ordered - yet they wouldn't budge on their "only one item per customer" rule. hey, if you're out of steak, would it kill you to let me get a burger AND a grilled cheese? the waitress couldn't have been less gracious. other flaws included telling me the menu "lied" about a champagne split (I was given only one short-poured glass), taking 92 minutes (!) to get us our burgers, and not even asking whether we wanted more water (we did). the coup de grace was on our way out watching someone who'd been seated an hour after us get served a steak - after our steak orders had been forcibly changed 20 mins after being taken. I regret to inform you that The Arsenal sucks - and the new copy-of-The-Viceroy interior won't matter.
Fine, I guess... – There's nothing inherently wrong with the Arsenal, a classic Westside hang that serves up strong cocktails like the Grasshopper with chocolate vodka and creme de menthe and Pompomtini with pomegranate vodka and pom juice. Drinks are good. There is no line to get in. There are even places to sit if one so desires. It's fine. Okay. But not a destination spot -- especially if you prefer a smoke-free environment when attempting to get some "fresh air" on the patio...
Awesome Local Bar! – Low Key, Right around the corner from my place, awesome bartenders, good music & good crowd! Overall a goodtime everytime I go to The Arsenal!
Love this place! – I always have fun when I come here. It's close to my apartment, they have a great happy hour, play good music, have a large patio area and I love the bartender, Paul.
The Arsenal is always our default bar & I am proud to call myself a regular. =)
Great spot to hang or meet with friends – I have fun whenever I come here with the girls. OMG try the Kobe burger or FIlet, mouth watering! Try their aplle martinis, the best i've ever had. It's a very fun atmosphereand feels grown up. DJ's have never dissapointed me, i love it here! This could turn into a habit :)
Good Beer, Awesome Burgers – Beer was great, very clean tap. Had the kobe beef all american burger & friend had the grass-fed beef burger. Both were greatly done, particularly loved the crispy bun it was served on. The fries & onion rings were very crispy, with moist center. Awesome ambience, great bar, great service. Definitely will go back & bring friends with me.
superbowl – Does anyone know if they are having a super bowl event?? So Far the the only place in Downtown Culver City that is having an event is at Gyenari:
- Super Happy Hour from 1-8 in our lounge
- $10 super BBQ special!
- $2 Hite draft beer!
Game will be broadcast on plasma TV's in lounge and on our state of the art 100 inch screen in the dining room. BBQ, drink, and cheer for your team on Super Sunday!
Wednesday Nights – DJs spin indie-electro, dubstep and new music you would normally have to go to Hollywood to hear. Good looking crowd, tasty food, outdoor patio is dope.

Shoulders slumped and heads hung after taking the 68-54 beating from Ole Miss in the SEC tournament first round. The scene was like any other elimination-game aftermath.
But there was far more swirling around the Tiger program after the loss. Afternoon reports of a federal point-shaving investigation focused on suspended guard Varez Ward dwarfed anything played between white lines.
Still, coach Tony Barbee and players Kenny Gabriel and Frankie Sullivan promised the potentially damaging allegations didn't factor into the foul-plagued loss. Before taking post-game questions, Barbee deferred to a university-released statement on the investigation.
"We weren't distracted at all," Gabriel said. "We knew that we came down to New Orleans to play basketball and put everything else aside. We just wanted to focus on this game and this game only. If we won, we'd focus on Tennessee. We just came down here with a focused mindset."
Sullivan said it was all about the game plan, but that went out the window when foul trouble came early.
Ole Miss (19-12) reached the bonus less than five minutes into the game and wasn't whistled for a foul of its own for nearly 10 minutes. Gabriel went to the bench after getting his third foul 3:06 into the game. He fouled out in the closing moments after playing a season-low 13 minutes with 11 points.
Barbee said he "had no issue with the officiating," but his team had a hard time managing without its second-leading scorer on the floor.
"Sometimes as a basketball player, you're going to get two or three fouls in a first half," Gabriel said. "You just have to battle through it. Calls aren't always going to go our way all the time. So, that said, we were only down five at halftime."
Ole Miss didn't gain much separation since it made just 8-of-15 free throws in the first half. The league's worst free-throw shooting team in the league was 13-for-17 after halftime, though.
Still, the Rebel lead was just three with 9:10 to play after an 8-1 Auburn run. Ole Miss went nearly six minutes without a field goal.
Rebel coach Andy Kennedy referenced Auburn's point-shaving allegations against when poking fun at his team's drought.
"About through the second half, I thought that Terrance (Henry) had joined them, joined the scam," Kennedy said.
Rebel Nick Williams blew things open from there.
The Ole Miss junior from Mobile scored nine of the next 11 Rebel points after Auburn made it a one-possession game. Williams finished with a game-high 22 after making 4-of-8 attempts from 3-point range.
"I felt like I was in a rhythm and I made a couple moves and got some easy looks," Williams said.
Auburn (15-16) struggled with its shooting touch and couldn't compete with the Rebels around the rim.
The Tigers made were 5-for-21 on 3-pointers. Sullivan was 1-for-11from behind the arc and 3-for-4 inside it to finish with a team-high 15. Chris Denson added 11 coming off the bench.
The rebounding disparity was 45-21 in favor of the Rebels who got 19 second-chance points off 19 offensive rebounds.
All is not lost for the Auburn program, Barbee promised. Regardless of records or scandals, he envisions a bright future for Tiger basketball.
"When you take over a program, obviously a lot of times you get a program like this, because it's not ready-made and you got to build it and you got to grow it," Barbee said. "But what happens is when you're doing that, there's going to be some growing pains.
"And the best part about me and my background having gone through something very similar at UTEP, there's a .., there's nobody who wants to win more now than me."
